When you visit an our website our server (computer that hosts the website) automatically stores data such as the IP-address of your device, the addresses of the sub-sites you visited, details on your internet browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge,…) and date and time. We don’t use this data and don’t forward it to third parties. We can, however, not guarantee that this data is not inspected in case of illegal actions.

Storage of Personal Data

Personal data you transmit on an our website such as name, email address, postal address or comments on a blog contribution will be used together with date and IP address only for the use intended. This data will securely be stored and not transferred to third parties. This means we use personal data only for communication with visitors who explicitly desire to stay in contact and for processing services and products offered on our website. We will not forward your personal data without your consent we can, however, not guarantee that they are not inspected in case of unlawful actions. If you send us personal data via email – not via an our website – we cannot guarantee for a secure transfer and the protection of your data. Therefore, we advise you to never send personal data per email without encryption.
